WJA1500 +5V Active-Bias InGaP HBT Gain Block Applications IF Amplifier VHF/UHF Transmission Wireless Infrastructure CATV/SATV/MoCA General Purpose Wireless SOT-89 Package Product Features Functional Block Diagram GND 50Ohm Cascadable Gain Block 501000MHz 4 19.5dB Gain at 200MHz +20.5dBm P1dB at 200MHz +43.5dBm Output IP3 at 200MHz +60dBm Output IP2 at 200MHz Single +5V Supply, 95mA Current 1 2 3 Robust 1000V ESD, Class 1C RF IN GND RF OUT SOT-89 Package Pin Configuration General Description Pin No. Label The WJA1500 is a cascadable gain block that offers high linearity in a low-cost surface-mount package. At 1 RF IN 200MHz, the WJA1500 typically provides 19.5dB gain, 3 RF OUT +43.5dBm OIP3, and +20.5dBm P1dB. The device is 2, 4 GND housed in a RoHS-compliant SOT-89 industry-standard SMT package using Annealed Matte Tin or NiPdAu plating to reduce or eliminate the possibility of tin whiskers. The WJA1500 consists of Darlington pair amplifiers using a high reliability InGaP/GaAs HBT process technology. The MMIC amplifier is internally matched to 50 and only requires DC-blocking capacitors and a bias inductor for operation. An internal active bias is designed to enable stable performance over temperature. A dropping bias resistor is not required allowing the device to be biased directly from +5V supply voltage. Ordering Information The amplifier is targeted for high performance IF Part No. Description applications in existing and next generation wireless WJA1500 1,000 pieces on a 7 reel (standard) technologies. The WJA1500 is ideal for general purpose applications such as LO buffering, IF amplification and WJA1500-PCB 501000MHz Evaluation Board pre-driver stages within the 50 to 1000MHz frequency range.
